HERE WE are, living in
Southern California. We've a little house just a few minutes' walk from the
beach, with flowers and sunshine all year. For, you see, I've retired. We're
getting a check for $200 a month that will keep us financially independent as
long as we live.
But if it weren't for that $200, we'd still be living in Forest Hills, and I'd
still be plugging away at the same old job. Strangely, it's all thanks to
something that happened, quite accidentally, in 1926. It was August 17, to be
exact. I remember the date because it was my fortieth birthday.
To celebrate, Peg and I were going out to the movies. While she went upstairs to
dress, I picked up a magazine and leafed through it idly. Then somehow my eyes
rested on an ad. It said, "You don't' have to be rich to retire." Probably the
reason I read it through was that just that evening Peg and I had been saying
how hard it was for us to put anything aside for our future.
Well, we'd certainly never be rich.
We spent money as fast as it came in. And here I was forty already. Half my
working years were gone. Someday I might not be able to go on working so hard.
What then?
Now this ad sounded as if it might have the answer. It told of a way that a man
of 40-with no big bank account, but just fifteen or twenty good earning years
ahead-could get a guaranteed income of $200 a month. It was called the Phoenix
Mutual Retirement Income Plan.
The ad offered more information.
No harm in looking into it, I said. When Peg came down, I was tearing a comer
off the page. First coupon in my life I ever clipped. I mailed it on our way to
the movies.
Twenty years slide by mighty fast.
The crash ... the depression ... the war. I couldn't foresee them. But my
Phoenix Mutual Plan was one thing I never had to worry about!
1946 came ..• I got my first Phoenix Mutual check-and retired. We're living a
new kind of life. Best of all, we've security a rich family might envy. Our $200
a month will keep coming as long as we live.
